Dual Direction

Reduce Your Portfolio Risk at a Comfortable Level

While there’s never full control over the outcome of your investments, our dual direction strategy is a product that should make you feel comfortable and confident in your decisions. Dual direction targets moderate growth regardless of the stock market direction. As the name suggests it intends to deliver returns if the market moves higher or lower.

Put simply, this plan is for those looking to protect their portfolio from the adverse effects of an S&P 500 market decline.

Targeted Payouts with Market Decline Protection

Because this portfolio strategy endeavors to take advantage of products with maturity dates, the investor receives a targeted payout in 18 to 36 months. Therefore, we believe this strategy is ideal for savvy investors with the patience and comfort level to cope with market fluctuations.

Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread apart the data, the higher the deviation. In finance, standard deviation is applied to the annual rate of return of an investment to measure the investment’s volatility. Employee accounts do not pay advisory fees, so the returns illustrated for the strategy are higher than they would be if employee accounts paid similar fees.
